Fan Power Connectors: CPU_F2/CPU_F3
The CPU_F2(processor fan) and CPU_F3 (system fans) support
system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three-pin head connector.
When connecting the wire to the connectors, always take note that the
red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black
wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. The mainboard has a
ADT7467 chipset to detect CPU/fab temperature, you must use a spe-
cially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan
control.
